Description
Book SynopsisThis is not an autobiography, Bourdieu said of this work but it reveals much of the hitherto implicit experience of his formative years, and gives insights into his relationships with Jean-Paul Sartre, Raymond Aron, Michel Foucault and many others, which deepen our understanding of his unique contribution to sociology and anthropology.
Trade Review"This slim volume, more accessible than anything in Bourdieu's oeuvre, can be read in one session. But its value lies in each further reading, alone or with students, to gain a sense that, as a result of reflexivity and social self-analysis, there was a different sociologist using his concepts in different ways across his works."
Journal of Sociology "Not just a book for students in French studies or in literature; social scientists - and especially those who do not know or appreciate Bourdieu - will find many examples of his unique sociological thinking."
